Title: Unit used in an apparatus for measuring the viscosity of a fluid
Inventor: POISSANT DANIEL
IPC: G01N11/12
Filed: 1995-04-03
Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a unit used in an apparatus for measuring the viscosity of a fluid contained in a recipient; the unit includes a vertically displaceable piston at the upper end of which is provided a lifting plate while the lower end is equipped with a spherical head displaceably received in a cup immerged in the fluid.  As the piston is lifted, fluid is drawn into the cup.  After being raised, the piston is allowed to fall under gravity and the fluid in the cup is expelled through a small clearance between the spherical head and the inner cylindrical wall of the cup.  The time required for the piston plate to contact and actuate a switch is proportional to the viscosity of the fluid.

Patent CA-2159888-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROSSBACH PAUL C
IPC: G06F9/32
Filed: 1995-10-04
Abstract: An improved method of addressing within a pipelined processor having an address bit width of m + n bits is disclosed, which includes storing m high order bits corresponding to a first range of addresses,  which encompasses a selected plurality of data executing within the pipelined processor.  The n low order bits of addresses associated with each of the selected plurality of data are also stored.  After determining the address of a subsequent datum to be executed within the processor, the subsequent datum is fetched.   In response to fetching a subsequent datum having an address outside of the first range of addresses, a status register is set to a first of two states to indicate that an update to the first address register is required.   In response to the status register being set to the second of the two states, the subsequent datum is dispatched for execution within the pipelined processor. The n low order bits of the subsequent datum are then stored, such that memory required to store addresses of instructions executing within the pipelined processor is thereby decreased.
Patent CA-2160315-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAKAOKA SHOJI
IPC: B02C2/10
Filed: 1995-10-11
Abstract: A pulverizer used to pulverize tea leaves, grain such as sesame and wheat, and minerals such as ceramics and rocks. A pair of upper and lower mortars provided for the pulverizer are rotated relatively to pulverize material between the pulverizing surface provided on the top surface of the lower mortar and the pulverizing surface provided on the bottom surface of the upper mortar. The pulverizing surface of the lower mortar is formed in a concave conical shape and the pulverizing surface of the upper mortar is formed in a conical shape matching the concave conical shape. Accordingly, when pulverization is performed between the pulverizing surfaces of the upper and lower mortars, the material is raised along the pulverizing surface of the lower mortar toward its outer peripheral section and slips down along the pulverizing surface, returning toward its central section. This up-and-down movement is repeated. The material can therefore be retained for an extended period of time between the pulverizing surfaces. As a result, the material can be ground down into powder having a small grain size.

Title: Polyester/zeolite admixtures
Inventor: MILLS DAVID EARL
IPC: C08K7/22
Filed: 1994-05-26
Abstract: This invention relates to a polyester/zeolite admixture having an excellent gas barrier property and an improved flavor retaining property, and clarity. More particularly, the present invention relates to a polyester/zeolite admixture wherein the zeolite is present in a critical amount of 100 parts per million (ppm) to 1,000 ppm. The present inventors have determined that addition of small- or medium-pore zeolites in a critical amount to a polyester reduces the concentration of acetaldehyde in the polyester without producing haze and thus improves the storage property, flavor retaining property, and fragrance retaining property of containers made from such polyester.
